NOTESSpecial notes:
If the fault appears while the vehicle is being driven on a steep gradient, during a very
tight turn or while the vehicle is being transported on a lorry, train, boat etc., with the
engine running, clear the fault and test drive, if possible, to check that the fault does
not return.
Conditions for applying fault finding procedures to stored faults:
The fault is declared present after a road test.
Check that component 1175 is fitted and attached correctly (the arrow indicating the front of the vehicle).
Check the conformity of the tyres (see MR 411, Mechanical, 35A, Wheels and tyres, Tyres: Identification
and Tyre pressure, Identification).
Check the axle assembly geometry (see MR 411, Mechanical, Chassis, Front axle adjustment).
Calibrate component 583 using command VP003 Steering wheel angle sensor (see Configurations
and programming).
Clear the ESP sensor offsets using command RZ011 Sensor offset.
Re-establish dialogue with the ABS/ESP computer, and if no other fault is to be dealt with, clear the computer fault
memory.
Carry out a road test.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.

NOTESConditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
Clear the stored fault, carry out a road test at a speed of > 36 mph (60 km/h) and test
the brakes using ABS.
Use the interpretation of the fault if it recurs.
Special notes:
The fault is detected if the computer does not detect a brake lights switch status change
for 4 acceleration/braking cycles and/or the contact is closed for over 6 minutes with
the vehicle speed above 24 mph (40 km/h).
Using the diagnostic tool, check on the status screen that ET017 Brake pedal recognises the correct pressed
and released positions of the brake pedal.
If the correct pedal position is not displayed, use the interpretation of ET017 Brake pedal.

NOTESSpecial notes:
Even though it is stored in the computer, the ABS/ESP system is not faulty.
The ESP is deactivated following unusable information from the injection system.
Perform fault finding on the injection system using the diagnostic tool.
Note:
The injection does not always store these transient faults as quickly as the ABS/ESP.
Note:
Once the fault in the injection system has been repaired, clear the ABS/ESP computer
fault memory.
Conditions for applying the fault finding procedure to stored faults:
The fault is declared present when the engine is started.
Check the injection computer (see 13B, Diesel injection or 17B, Petrol injection) using the diagnostic tool.
Run a multiplex network test (see 88B, Multiplex).
